Agricultural and Industrial Progress in danada A monthly review of Agricultural and Industrial progress in Canada, published by the Department of Colonisation and Development of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Montreal, Canada. Vol. 3—No. 7 MONTREAL July, 1921 Canada's Birthday ON July 1st, Dominion Day, Canada at- tained the age of fifty-four years, born of the confederation of the provinces into a united Dominion in 1867. As the age of nations is reckoned, she is extremeh' j'oung, the merest infant in comparison with those countries of older continents whose national origins are lost in the mists of antiquity and which have strug- gled to mature stature with the fulness of time. But Canada is a precocious child, of sturdy pro- portions and husky growth, with all the promise of a splendid, vigorous manhood awaiting it. With the recur- rence each year of its natal day, it is natural to look back and measure the pro- gress of the Domin- ion over the past twelve months. In- variably is it a re- trospect of gratifica- tion and satisfaction. Always is it found that the body of the giant stripling has grown a little fuller and the limbs a little stronger as progress is maintained, with carefully measured strides, towards that maturity which is national fulness. Fifty-four years is a considerable span in the lifetime of a human being; in the existence of nations it is a mere iota. Yet in this brief period a comparison of Canada as she exists to-day with the hesitant step and the uncertain status she possessed in 1867, shows that the years in between have been replete with event and achievement. Canada has emerged from a weakling, a dependant colony, to stand firmly upon her own feet and to take her place, in perfect equality, with the nations of the world.
